A lesson on stupid people and energy redirection:
The front left and right drivers are the majority of who you will interact with in the world. They’re common, myopic, and have no theory of mind. You cannot take their actions personally. To them, you and everyone else do not exist. They don’t even know they think all of their actions happen in a vacuum.
The pickup truck driver in the back is just as stupid, but he’s an outlier among the stupid because he has zero emotional regulation. These are the original retard maxxers. They don’t know they’re retarding. They’re primarily all “id.” They will climb over the passive stupids, then hit a low glass ceiling relative to everyone else, because they’re still stupid.
So what do you do when life puts you in a “stupid sandwich”?
You’re in the middle of it. You can see how it gets solved. The stupids aren’t solving it.
You get angry. Frustrated.
That makes you quite stupid, no?
Why would a bunch of stupid people have your thoughts? Of course they’re doing what they’re doing. They’re stupid, you big idiot.
You want the situation solved in the way that makes the most sense to you, not to them. That makes you just as stupid.
Here’s one example of redirecting all the stupid energy around you to your benefit:
Recognize that you are not getting where you’re going any faster because of what’s happening.
Also recognize that because you’re probably smarter than the people jamming you up, you already gave yourself enough time to get there. You’re frustrated because you don’t like that an idiot is controlling you in an auxiliary way.
You can’t go faster because they’re slow and stupid.
I get it. I like driving fast too. It’s fun.
You just want to go faster (in most scenarios anyway).
Now, onto redirecting the stupid energy surrounding you:
Start gradually going slower. Much slower.
Pickup truck guy will get angry with you, but he’s still more angry at the two idiots up front and wants them to know about it.
He will immediately pass you so he can tend to the two stupids in front.
He’ll be angry with you too, but you can de-aggro him by appearing more stupid than the others.
Do this by grabbing the wheel with both hands, hunching forward, and looking up with your mouth open, all confused, like you don’t even know there are other drivers around.
What’s the point of truck guy being angry with you if even he can see you’re too stupid to know where you are?
He will then start riding the left lane idiot’s ass, likely swerving, which makes the right lane idiot’s spatial awareness kick in.
Typically neither of the stupids in front wants the confrontation. One will speed up or slow down and break the sandwich because they don’t want the big truck man mad at them.
You should then have an ample window to hit the gas and pass the two idiots who started this in the first place.
Closing remarks:
You can always rely on a guy in a truck to have no emotional regulation, so just let him tank the retards in front.
Don’t be an idiot wondering why stupid people can’t see what you see. That’s why they’re stupid, stupid.
In most situations like this, you’re frustrated because someone is in control of your autonomy. Admit that to yourself and it will break the spell so you can begin to change the situation.

I go to the gym, eat healthy, and have no vices so that I may smoke cigarettes for one day out of the month with my best friend.
When a woman is clearly wrong, she often doubles down harder out of pure arrogance. She can still “win” the exchange simply by being delusional enough to believe she did. To her, the victory is real, so in a sense, you lost.
The most racist, sexist, etc. people on here are very often some of the nicest you’ll meet in real life.
The ones on the “right side of history,” however, are the most vitriolic, bad-faith, “do what you’re told” demons you’ll ever have to deal with.
We all need to come to terms with the fact that Skylar was a bitch and Walt was just doing his best.
They’re actually talking about who is more racist.
You never consider that when you lose a pet friend you think things like “what I would give to clean that cat’s shit one more time.”
Stop treating every small friction as proof that the world is against you.
The person who cuts you off or is slowly pushing a cart in front of you doesn’t have to feed more negativity. These are just events. What turns them into “this always happens to me” is the story you’ve been running underneath.
Your mind is a pattern recognition machine. If the story you keep telling yourself is “this doesn’t work” or “this is just how my life is,” it will look for evidence that confirms it. The external world then starts to look like it’s cooperating with that narrative.
The harder question isn’t whether the universe is steering you. It’s what direction you’ve already been pointing yourself in. Most people never get honest about that. They say they want something better while their daily self-talk keeps them oriented toward the familiar negative outcome.
Reach a point of actual neutrality, where you’re not automatically generating more internal friction, and then decide who you’re trying to become. From there the same interruptions stop being pure irritants. They become information. They show you where your current pattern is still running and where a different one could take you instead.
The path that actually feels better usually isn’t the one your automatic negative story has been protecting. You have to notice the story first.
Shane Gillis calls out women for dressing worse than prostitutes at the gym, so naturally they do it even more out of defiance.
Yet we’re supposed to believe Gen Z women have higher rates of virginity, or are having far less sex overall… because they feel so much shame and guilt about it!
It’s not just as bad for them as Gen Z men. It might actually be worse!
Right.
